Permalex squeegees promise improved printing in lead-free environments. Using the highest quality squeegee is becoming even more important as the industry moves toward lead free assembly. Permalex metal squeegees are infused with a polymer lubricant.

This lubricant eliminates the sticking typically seen on other metal squeegees.

In the past, lead has acted as a lubricating element, with its ability to stretch, shear, fill and smooth out any process of sliding between two elements.

According to Transition Automation, as the industry moves towards lead free the novel lubrication found in Permalex squeegees will become vital to the printing process.
